H&R alignment
I went to the dealer yesterday to get an alignment and they asked me for the specs on H&R which I didn't have with me. I just called H&R and they said 1.5-2.25" F and 1.25" R, but I have adjusted the height from factory. Have you guys been asked this before ? The funny thing is I had an alignment done a few months ago when I installed the Eibachs and they never asked me then. It was WAY off and they did it perfectly. I'm not sure what to tell them at this point and might take my chances and leave it as is for my trip. Thoughts ?

It shouldn't matter?? I've had the CQ aligned to factory specs, and to slightly different specs,
never had a problem (it's sitting on adjustable coil-overs).
It shouldn't be any different for your A8.

S8 alignment specs are ...
Front:
Camber .. -1.1 deg
Caster ..... 3.5 deg
Toe ........ 0.3 deg (toe-in)
Rear:
Camber .. -0.7 deg
Toe ........ 0.2 deg (toe-in)
You won't be able to change either camber or caster with the A8/S8 suspension. When you lower the car with H&R's, the amount of negative camber will increase, but all you can do is make it the same left-right by shifting the subframe.
The last time I had my car aligned, I had front toe set to zero, and some who track their Audi's prefer a little toe-out. Toe-in improves high speed straight line stability, zero toe improves braking and tire wear, toe-out improves turn-in.
